Suddenly given by the treasure of the sect, the current sect master, Tang Yuan, is unable to easily accept something this precious from his niece, Tan Binyu. Thousand Umbrella, the most exclusive weapon of the Tang Clan. This is a hidden weapon with a thousand forms. Since it possessed all kinds of forms, the one who can utilize this will have the ability to contend against an emperor as long as it was used well. That’s why this artifact is something only the Sect Master can wield.

The last owner of this artifact is Tang Yuyi who is one of the ancestors of the Hidden Tang Sect and she passed this artifact to her most talented granddaughter Tan Bingyu. After Tan Bingyu as the closest aide that serves the Moon Goddess, she never lacks artifacts, especially weapons. Her own sword, Xueci, was given to her as a king grade artifact but after it grew with her it is now semi-divine with sword spirit. This Thousand Umbrella is only a king-grade artifact.

Tan Bingyu passed the Thousand Umbrella to her foster uncle and said, "Uncle, as the Sect Master you still don’t have a weapon that matches your realm. This Thousand Umbrella is also an artifact of the Tang Clan and something only the Hidden Tang Sect’s Sect Master can use. I cannot become the sect’s master as I have to serve my mistress. This weapon fits uncle the most. Please don’t reject it anymore."

Passing the artifact of the sect back to the current sect master, Tang Yuan was stunned. He didn’t want to accept the weapon but as soon as it landed on his hand it glowed as if recognizing him. After all, compared to Tan Binyu who focused on her Ice Phoenix bloodline due to her special physique, Nine Meridian Yin, hidden weapons can only be one of her weapons and cannot become her main. Swords suit her the most.

Tang Yuyi, feeling her son’s hesitation, said, "Son, take it. Your niece doesn’t need that artifact. Moreover, it suits you more as you focus on hidden weapons the most."

"Your mother is right. Bing’er already received a sword from the Mistress and she focused on controlling the ice element so hidden weapons were only secondary weapons for her. Take it. That fits you the most," said Tan Huangyu.

Tang Yuan looked at his little brother, "A’Shen, you..."

"Me? No. No? Don’t give that to me. I focus on controlling sun energy. That umbrella will melt in my hand!" Tan Shenyu declared. "My master said he will find a weapon for me. Something similar to his sword which doesn’t melt in his hands. But the material of that sword can only be found in the Cosmos Battlefield so... It will take time for my sword to be made."

"What do you use as a weapon then?" Tang Yuan asked.

Tan Shenyu raised a fist and said, "This?"

Seeing the reaction of his younger brother, Tang Yuan, no longer rejects the weapon. He is very thankful that his master’s family really treats him and his family as a part of their family. He was actually just an orphan until his master picked him up and treated him as her foster son. He did his best to protect the sect and now the family had not only accepted him but also approved of his position as the sect master.

Tang Yuan said, "Thank you, everyone. I will do my best for the sect."

"Alright, big brother. How about you ask the disciples to bring in the gifts from the great general. We might attract thieves if this continues," said Tan Shenyu.

Meanwhile, when Yue Xuexia’s soul clone returned to her body, she woke up and coughed a bit of blood.

Cough!

She ignored the blood in her hand and cleaned it calmly. Then she checked her body and noticed that the part of her soul which was healed was now a bit injured again. But it’s not to the point when she first puked blood as this time, she didn’t use much of her realm and only summoned the lightning tribulation, the heavenly law had allowed her to wield.

She was only a bit injured due to her blocking that attack from the Immortal Star emperor. She used a bit of qi to block an attack from an emperor realm cultivator so it’s no surprise that she is injured again.

"This time... It’s not that bad. It can be healed in three days. But my vessel is truly too weak. I must visit one of the treasure lands, my Great Grandfather told me. The problem is that I don’t know where it is located," Yue Xuexia mumbles. After drinking a cup of water, she went back to sleep.

On the other hand, as soon as Taiyang returned to the floating island where the new Immortal Sun Empire is located, he immediately looked for the Immortal Sun Emperor, Shen Jueyang. After landing on the island, Taiyang went to the throne hall where the emperor is usually staying doing his work. The morning court had just ended when the great general had arrived.

"The court is dismissed!" The Immortal Sun Emperor said.

The ministers and generals in the hall had all saluted Shen Jueyang before taking their leave. This was the scene that had welcomed Taiyang when he had returned. Some ministers and generals greeted the Great General on their way out until. Only when there was only the emperor and the great general left did the two start a conversation.

The Immortal Sun Emperor, Shen Jueyang asked, "How is she doing?"

"She is doing great. However, it seems she was injured a bit before she arrived in this world," said Taiyang.

Shen Jueyang recalled the last time he had descended in the body of the Sun God he had tasked to protect Yue Xuexia and he already knew most of what happened to her after he left. Her injuries this time were beyond his strength. She had pulled out his foster son from the clutches of a primordial god. Even he wasn’t capable of such a thing. Just thinking of this made him angry. Angry that he was helpless to stop her or help her.

"I know. She had helped her little foster son ascend. The child of one of her best friends. The other side was Primordial God’s soul wisp and she had injured her soul in the process. Thankfully, it wasn’t the deadly kind," said Shen Jueyang.

The Great General, Taiyang, frowned and said, "Why didn’t you tell me about this!?"

"I’ve been busy lately and had recently checked my other clone’s memory. Sun God’s memories and learned about her situation," said Shen Jueyang.

Taiyang said, "Then I will visit her again and bring some herb that heals the soul."

"No need. I will go myself. Handle the rest here," said Shen Jueyang.

Taiyang sighed and said, "Alright. I’m going back to rest for a bit. Who would have thought that Xing Xieju would hit that hard."

"You fought? Why?" The Immortal Sun Emperor asked.

The Great General responded, "He tried to harm your disciple. By the way, Xue’er got angry. She used Tribulation lightning to attack Xing Xieju, he can only run away after being hit twice."

Chuckles~

"Serves him right. Did he think that she is still Yue Xuehua?" Shen Jueyang retorted.

Suddenly, Shen Jueyang noticed Taiyang discreetly trying to hide his space ring. Clearly, there is something in there that he doesn’t want to share. Between the two of them there are a few things that they both have. One a bottomless stomach. Second, their care and love for Yue Xuexia and lastly, their love for food. Yue Xuexia’s cooking was something they liked the most.

"Alright. If nothing else I will take my leave now," said Taiyang as he was about to leave.

The Immortal Sun Emperor narrowed his eyes and said, "Stop right there. Xue’er gave you something didn’t she?"

Gulps~

"What are you talking about? There is nothing like that," said Taiyang nervously as he was slowly walking towards the door.

Seeing this Shen Jueyang appeared in front of him blocking his path towards the exit.

The Immortal Sun Emperor said, "Take out what’s in your space ring!"

"W-What are you talking about? This is my space ring!" Taiyang said as he hid the hand with his space ring while stepping away from the Immortal Sun Emperor.

"Taiyang! Something Xue’er made for us, you are not allowed to eat it alone!" Shen Jueyang said.

The Great General Taiyang said, "It’s given to me. So it’s mine alone!"

"You dare! Give me my part!!" Shen Jueyang said as he chased after Taiyang in the hall.

When he caught up with him, they wrestled like children on the ground with Shen Jueyang and Taiyang beating each other. By the time they’ve started eating, both have bruises on their faces making their handsome faces wasted on them. They can even taste blood as they eat. However, the Moon Goddess cooking is still topnotched as always and most of the stock was taken away by the Immortal Sun Emperor saying that Taiyang had eaten enough from Yue Xuexia’s place.
